| The stories in "My Third Half" are sharp, witty, and full of life. Vogt crafts his tales carefully to tell us about various people we might know--people in the city and in the suburbs, living mainly in the present day. We see ourselves in his charact ...more | |

| I bought this hardcover at The Strand for $2.95 years ago. I though I'd read it now and recycle it to the public library. But the stories were engaging and grew more engaging toward the end. The last story in the book is "The Book of Sand," about a b ...more | |
